Thanks a ton man!  I really appreciate everything.  It won't be forgotten!  Sorry to hear you're having troubles with the toploader though.

@vinnie:  Oh yeah, you got that right.  I couldn't be any more excited right now.  If someone told me 3 weeks ago that I'd be putting a 5 speed in by now, I'd laugh at them.  Gotta love the fruits of hard labor.

Haha that'd be awesome.  I'm hoping to grab an O/R H pipe this week to put in during the swap.

Just got off the phone with the machine shop that's doing the work on my 302 block.  It's in the tank right now getting cleaned up, at which point he's gonna mic it and see if it'll need any boring or not.  The crank hasn't fared too well; it's definitely gonna need to be turned, and there's a possibility that we'll need to find a new crank.  I'm really glad I'm getting this T5 swap done ASAP so I can get the AOD sold and get money saved up for getting the engine finished.

Oh I know...all the stuff I've been doing to the car has been stuff that dad and I have talked about doing since he first bought the car 6-7 years ago (before it fell into my hands).  I remember when he first got it, he kept saying "This thing needs the HO, 5 speed, and some better gears than these  2.73 desert gears."  Look at where she is now ;) .  I'm really excited to get the new engine together and hooked up to the T5....that's gonna be soooooo awesome.

Vinnie you are right, I noticed a tone change in mine now too...  not liking the way mine sounds now, so I am going to have to get some different lers..:hick:

the OR h pipe really makes a tone difference too....:D

Yea,I have an OR X-Pipe,and 40 series Flowmasters.Really nice sound.Loud enough to let people know something is there,and not loud enough to give me a bad headache after 400 miles of driving.
